You can share your personal, stream-of-consciousness musings or your expertise on any subject ranging from your family vacation to world peace. This guide helps beginners (even technophobes) get started fast, with the essential info on:

* The elements of blogs, such as entries, sidebars, categories, comments, and index pages
